- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 1 day ago:
Agree with this. I personally don’t use any sort of autocomplete whatsoever. When I have a question for the AI, I ask it, then I type the code for what I learnt.
Don’t make the mistake of delegating work. Make the AI teach you what it knows.
- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 1 day ago:
Personally I only do the “not search through garbage google results” part (especially now that it’s clogged up with AI articles that don’t even answer the question)
ChatGPT is great for that, I never have to spend 15 minutes searching up what’s the function called to do X thing.
I really recommend to set the answers to be as brief and terse as possible. The base settings of a sycophant that generates a full article for every question are super annoying when you’re doing actual work.

Oh okay, that’s extremely confusing x)
- Comment on Nearly all of Spotify has been scraped and is available via torrents 1 day ago:
In my experience the container format is kinda irrelevant, the important questions are : Is it lossy or lossless ? What’s the bitrate ?
Having listened to Spotify and Apple Music Lossless, there is definitely a noticeable difference. I have blind tested myself with the help of family members and I can always tell which is which after like 30 seconds, and I have terrible ears (tinnitus since birth)

And the worst part is she probably didn’t get to keep them !
- Comment on "i can hear the difference" 2 days ago:
But do coat hangers hold up to repeated use ?
- Comment on Nearly all of Spotify has been scraped and is available via torrents 2 days ago:
But are the files high quality, or is it the same low bitrate garbage they send to their users ?
- Comment on When rich people marry for money, it's fine; it's keeping it within the family — especially for royalty. When poor people marry for money, it's ‘gold digging.’ 3 days ago:
Depends. In some old money families, marrying for money is seems as foolish. We’re already rich, you fool, we’ve been rich for a thousand years !
- Comment on Do you preorder games? 3 days ago:
I preorder Indie games, because even if they turn out to be crap I want them to make another one and get better at it !
I relentlessly fuck over AAA publishers by buying keys on resellers, and I have no remorse about it.
- Comment on Can machines suffer? 4 days ago:
No.
- Comment on Does Lemmy need a fork or a rewrite due to its maintainers views? 4 days ago:
They are insane. But their views don’t seem to ever make it into the code, so I don’t mind for now.
- Comment on Microsoft wants to replace its entire C and C++ codebase, perhaps by 2030 5 days ago:
This could have been good news, however, Microsoft’s insistance on using AI, and general incompetence even without it, makes me very doubtful this will be successful.
They are going to try and replace C and C++ written by actual experts a few decades ago, with Rust written by idiots. Expect tons of logic bugs, and very little measurable difference in memory corruption.

And of course the cover picture is two random other actors…
- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 6 days ago:
ChatGPT is great at generating a one line example use of a function. I would never trust its output any further than that.
- Comment on The last person on earth might think they're not alone because they might text with chatbots and think they're real people 1 week ago:
The last person on earth would never be able to operate the infrastructure to actually verify that they are indeed alone.
- Comment on Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux 1 week ago:
That’s nice but it’s not good enough. There needs to be a compile flag so the AI code isn’t even included at all.
- Comment on LG TVs’ unremovable Copilot shortcut is the least of smart TVs’ AI problems 1 week ago:
I am still using a 2011 TV, but when it goes out it seems I’ll have to switch to a big PC monitor to dodge all that bullshit.
I don’t want a smart TV. I want a stupid screen, with just enough color settings to properly calibrate it. That’s it.
- Comment on After viral interview, Palantir launches neurodivergent fellowship 1 week ago:
Despite being neurodivergent, I also happen not to be profoundly evil ! So I don’t see myself joining anytime soon…
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 1 week ago:
But why !? Chatbots are useful enough, I don’t need AI anywhere else than when I explicitly choose to use it on my terms !
You wanna make money ? Make a chatbot that lies less and/or doesn’t reinforce people into their delusions, or one that runs for cheaper, or both.
AI is useful. Just like knives are useful. Doesn’t mean I want every object I own to also somehow be or contain multiple knives 😅
- Comment on People that have face/butt labeled towels must do a terrible job washing their butts 3 weeks ago:
This towel doesn’t account for something like 90% of your body surface x)
- Comment on It turns out Saudi Arabia will own 93.4 percent of EA if the buyout goes through, which is effectively all of it 3 weeks ago:
Oh great, so now even IF the Sims 5 comes out, I have a moral obligation not to buy it…

Imagine a phone you literally scroll.
- Comment on Samsung reveals first tri-fold phone 3 weeks ago:
Oh, that would be nice if the folds weren’t still extremely fragile 😂

In other words, don’t use homosexual cables when dealing with high power !
Jacks and USB get to be gay, power cables don’t.
- Comment on Leak confirms OpenAI is preparing ads on ChatGPT for public roll out 4 weeks ago:
Sounds like my AI usage is gonna fall from “infrequent” to “never”, if the ads are indeed unblockable…
- Comment on Anubis is awesome and I want to talk aout it 4 weeks ago:
I am very annoyed that I have to enable cloudflare’s JavaScript on so many websites, I would much prefer if more of them used Anubis so I didn’t have third-party JavaScript running as often.
( coming from an annoying user who tries to enable the fewest things possible in NoScript )
- Comment on Epic boss Tim Sweeney thinks stores like Steam should stop labelling games as being made with AI: 'It makes no sense,' he says, because 'AI will be involved in nearly all future production 4 weeks ago:
If that actually happens and the label becomes redundant, then we can talk about removing it.
Or better, inverting it to a “No AI” label for the people like me who will still care.
Tech bros always act like this : they don’t want to actually win by making a good solution. Instead they try to make you feel like their solution is inevitable and they have already won…
For a group of people who claim to be all about meritocracy and the “marketplace of ideas”, they sure like to short circuit those whenever possible…
- Comment on An entire PS5 now costs less than 64GB of DDR5 memory, even after a discount — simple memory kit jumps to $600 due to DRAM shortage, and it's expected to get worse into 2026 4 weeks ago:
I’m in Europe, so if anything that would benefit us x)
- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 4 weeks ago:
Ray Tracing is still not good enough and needs “de-noising” which basically just blurs the image.
DLSS is also absolutely horrible for blur. I would rather have a clear pixelated image than an upscaled mess. (And AMD superFX is barely any better)
